Every structure is custom built or kit modified. Eight years to complete and built by Master Model Railroader Richard A. ALL flows (log, cant, lumber and sawdust) are correct. The original Ralph Clement Bryant Lumber and Logging books were used as references. The model RR is 46.5 high, 8.5' long and 3.5' wide, about 30 square feet.

It is on a wood L girder/joist and 2 3/4" foam base with 2" x 4 wood legs (see image). Ten 6 drawer plastic parts storage carts can be stored under the model. The fascia is Masonite and also Wet n Shape with dirt slurry covered corrugated. The track plan has opportunity for switching log cars, lumber cars and cut off loads.

Logs can be unloaded in two areas: log brow into the water or onto the dry rollway. Logs can then be hauled up the normal floating log haul (New Mill) or sinker logs can be hauled up the old log haul (by cable) into the Old Mill.
